They haven't got time to campaign. The first thing on the lifetime agenda of woman is her family and to that she devotes the best years of "her life.

Women began agitating for political equality and more freedom in general in the middle of the 19th Century. They won the right to vote and hold office in some of the states before their national triumph in 1920. Thus in 1917 Miss Jcanette Rankin was a member of Congress from Montana. When President Wilson asked for a declaration of war against Germany, Miss Rankin voted nay and burst into tears.

It was short. and got right to the point: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not -be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

Helen of Troy did it by walking out on her husband, King Menelaus of Sparta, and joining forces with Paris in Troy, thereby; igniting a war that launched a thousand ships and lasted ten years.

Madame Pompadour became the virtual ruler of France for 19 years as the mistress of King Louis XV. In theory the American woman today is the absolute political equal of man. In practice she has not won equality. Of the 100 members of the U.S. Senate, only two are women Margaret Chase Smith, Republican from Maine, and Maurine Neuberger, Democrat from Oregon.

Of the 435 members of the House of Representatives, only 11 are women, Predicted Movie Star Congress Many were the dire predictions Young Couple An informal open house will be given by Mrs. Orlan C. Pope Friday In honor of Mr. and Mrs. Larry M.

She had enough money; in four different banks to live on the interest from it and stop acting like a starved, ragged bum, and telling me how wasteful I was.

What right had she to order to beat my kids because she beat hers. Then I told her not to come in our home again unless her son was here, I didn't want any more abuse from her, and if she was such a good church member, how about tending to her own soul?
